Backup and Recovery in Windows XP
Reinstalling Software Programs and Drivers
If a program or driver preinstalled at the factory is accidentally
erased or is damaged, the Application and Driver Recovery tool
allows you to reinstall it.
✎
Software not provided with this computer must be reinstalled
from the disc provided by the manufacturer or downloaded
from the manufacturer's Web site.
✎
Before reinstalling the program, be sure it is fully uninstalled.
The Application and Driver Recovery tool replaces corrupted
system files and reinstalls deleted system files within
the program.
■ In most cases, if the program you are reinstalling is still on
your computer, the reinstallation process does not affect your
personal settings.
■ In all cases, if a program has been deleted from your
computer, the reinstallation process reinstalls the program or
utility to the factory image but cannot restore your
personal settings.
